president obama has already set a record. "the financial times" reports almost 200 events at which he's rattled the tin cup, more than his 4 predecessors combined. he's ahead overall with $104 million the last time papers were filed with the federal election commission. that's ten times more than what mitt romney's campaign had in the bank. but romney is the darling of the super pacs. pro-romney pacs have collected ten times as much from the friendly rich who prefer to give anonymously. and even when he's the draw, you don't see much of the candidate. at a new jersey fundraiser the other day, mitt romney vacuumed up $400,000 in one hour at a private home while the press was safely cordoned off by police. no peeking allowed. but while only a few people will actually see the candidates up close between now and november, we will be seeing the commercials that all that money is buying. they're coming at us now fast and furious. >> i balanced the budget every single year. >> you don't quit, and neither does he. >> job creation num
